Abstract
A distance measuring apparatus includes: a display unit; a memory configured to store map information of golf courses; a location acquiring sensor configured to acquire a current location; a distance measuring sensor configured to measure a distance to a target; a slope sensor configured to measure a tilt angle; and a control unit configured to read out map information of a golf course corresponding to the current location from the memory, to calculate a horizontal distance to the target by using the distance to the target and the tilt angle, and to display a course map image on which an object corresponding to the current location and a first lead line connecting points that are spaced from the current location depending on the horizontal distance are displayed, on the display unit.
